Estudio geotécnico in Vitigudino

In Vitigudino, the subsoil is dominated by granite, gneiss and other igneous rocks, accounting for more than half of the local geology. Slates and schists also stand out, providing a highly competent rock mass matrix. The marginal presence of gravel and compacted sands does not constitute a significant constraint. These formations typically offer high bearing capacities, generally allowing for shallow foundations, although the low permeability of these materials may require attention in managing surface drainage and any potentially isolated shallow aquifers.

The seismicity recorded in Vitigudino is very low, with only 3 recorded events over 30 years and a maximum magnitude of 2.4, which minimises the need to incorporate special seismic criteria into structural design. The absence of an clayey substrate rules out the risk of expansiveness for foundations. In summary, the main constraint for the geotechnical study in this municipality is the rocky nature of the ground, which favours stability, although it is advisable to confirm the homogeneity and continuity of the subsoil during the reconnaissance campaign.
